Nalini Singh steps back into the shadows of her “heartbreakingly original” (Errant Dreams Reviews) world where angels rule, vampires serve, and the innocent can pay the greatest price of all.

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux and her lover, the lethally beautiful archangel Raphael, have returned home to New York only to face an uncompromising new evil.

A vampire has attacked a girls’ school—the assault one of sheer, vicious madness—and it is only the first act. Rampant bloodlust takes vampire after vampire, threatening to make the streets run with blood. Then Raphael himself begins to show signs of an uncontrolled rage, as inexplicable storms darken the city skyline and the earth itself shudders.

The omens are suddenly terrifyingly clear.

An ancient and malevolent immortal is rising. The violent winds whisper her name: Caliane. She has returned to reclaim her son, Raphael. Only one thing stands in her way: Elena, the consort who must be destroyed…

4.0 out of 5 stars Developing Relationships
Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2022

This book concentrates on the growing relationship between Raphael and Elena. They have such an amazing, loving bond and it is a pleasure to watch them grow as a couple. There is an outside force awakening that may pose a danger not only to Raphael and his consort but to the world. This threat creates an underlying tension throughout the book that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Great character development and world building. The story is not quite as compelling as the first two books in the series and at times the same sentiments are repeated too often causing the plot to drag. The ending however, definitely makes up for any grievances the reader might have and sets us up for the next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spicy with lots of drama
Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2023
The third book in the GUILD HUNTER series follows Elena and Raphael again as they once again come to terms with their pasts, confront old enemies, face a new foe, and fight to protect their families from severe danger.

I was glad to see more growth and layers to Elena and Raphael through the windows of their pasts. I appreciated that they had to struggle a little more and contend with what they wanted with each other.

That said, I felt that the arguments Elena and Raphael had cycled over and over. They continually stated who and what they were, yet didn’t really act on those statements. For example, Elena constantly stated she was a strong woman, but as soon as she got into trouble, she was calling to Raphael for help. Raphael kept asking Elena if she feared him, when he was doing something she would have agreed with anyway. There was a little tension in the romance but not as much as I would have liked.

The plot was fairly solid and led to an unexpected finale. The end solution was resolved fairly quickly, though I enjoyed the emotional weight put on the main characters.

The prose is still very strong, though there is an overuse of certain names and phrases that I felt could have been lessened or altered to keep the prose fresh. That said, I do think that a casual reader could pick this book up and enjoy it for what it is. I’m interested to see where the next books go!

3.0 out of 5 stars Average (Nothing More)
Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2021
I'm conflicted and undetermined when it comes to my feelings on this book (and the series in general). I absolutely loved the first book but the second book of this series felt like a filler book and I really didn't like it. This third book didn't feel like a filler book but it sill didn't fully capture me like the first book in this series did.

The majority of the excitement that caught my attention in this novel was the final couple chapters. For the rest of the book, I was pretty indifferent and felt that the story was mediocre.

Luckily, I feel like less characters were mentioned compared to the second book and that the story truly focused mainly on Elena and Raphael.

I can see where this series has potential but at this point, I don't know. As I'm participating in a book club involving this book, I will continue reading but if I wasn't, I would probably set the rest of this series aside.

Tout comme les autres tomes de cette série j'ai juste adoré!!! J'ai dévoré ce livre en 2 jours! J'adore le couple Elena/Raphaël!! Je l'ai acheté en anglais comme tout les autres tomes de la série car je trouve les illustrations juste magnifiques par rapport aux illustrations françaises qui sont font trop penser à la série Twilight, tout comme au titre français de la série "chasseuse de vampires", je trouve que le titre français réduit le livre considérablement, alors qu'il y aussi les archanges et les anges à prendre en compte! Dans ce tome 3, nous faisons la connaissance de Caliane: " Spoiler!!! Spoiler!!! Spoiler!!......c'est la maman de Raphaël!!!".
Nous assitons aussi à un affrontement de plus entre Lijuan et Rapahel, l'archange de Chine, qui sombre de plus en plus dans la folie!! Elle est complètement barrée!! J'ai adoré avoir un petit aperçu de Naasir l'un des 7 de Raphaël! J'ai hâted'en savoir plus à son sujet.

Adoro la coppia Raphael e Elena, sono innamorata di Illium e in generale trovo che la Singh sia una scrittrice davvero notevole, almeno in questo genere di romanzi. Questo volume è la degna conclusione di un amore nato tra le macerie e che lentamente abbiamo visto evolversi.
Siamo partiti in Angel's Blood con un arcangelo insensibile, nel secondo volume ci troviamo davanti a Raphael che vede Elena come una sua proprietà (non a caso pretende di farsi chiamare "Master" e Elena giustamente gli ride in faccia) e qui finalmente cede al sentimento che lo lega a questa incredibile donna e la vede come una consorte, che è più di una moglie, più di una compagna come afferma la stessa Ellie.
Assolutamente da leggere.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars: Another winning installment to a great PNR series
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2011

Archangel's Consort picks up after Archangel's Kiss left off. Elena, the Guild Hunter turned Angel, and Raphael, the powerful Archangel, are back in Manhattan. She wants to begin her Guild Hunter duties again, and is training hard to make that happen. Elena is facing everyone's shock of her being an Angel, and adapting to how different her life has become. And she is dealing with family conflicts as a surprising discovery is revealed. Meanwhile, the world is thrown into turmoil--earthquakes, tsunamis and unusual vampire attacks--as an ancient Archangel awakes. But who is it? Several of the ancients disappeared and are thought to have gone into Sleep--one of which was Caliane, Raphael's mother who was insane the last time he saw her. Raphael and his Seven search for the resting place of the ancient, knowing that it will result in an epic showdown.

Like the other books in the series, Archangel's Consort had some great twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat (especially towards the end!) I couldn't put this book down. It's a great mix of intrigue, suspense, action, and romance. The character development is top notch. In this latest installment, it was great to see many of my favorite characters from the earlier books. I loved seeing more of the Seven, especially Aodhan and Illian. They are such interesting characters and I hope they will have larger roles in upcoming books.

Elena as a character is very intriguing. While she's a tough, kick a$$ heroine, she is also loyal, caring, hard working, and honest. She's a strong woman who went through a traumatic experience as a child and who has a difficult relationship with her father as a result of that experience. No 'mary sue' character, she struggles as she adapts to her new body. She also is challenged with her relationship with Raphael, who is so much older and stronger. She seeks to find equal ground between them. One of the strongest beings on the planet and a member of the Cadre of Ten, Raphael is used to getting what he wants. He is not only powerful, he is cruel at times. But Elena makes Raphael more human in his love for her.

Only area for improvement for me was some parts seemed a little repetitive/draggy. That could have been improved with a good editor. But they weren't a big part of the book. All in all, I love this series. Definite keepers!

If you've read Singh's Psy Changeling books, her Guild Hunter series is darker but just as well written. If you like Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward or the Demonica series by Larissa Ione, you'll enjoy this series. Raphael is the ultimate alpha and the dark plotlines, intriguing characters, and disturbing enemies will pull you in.

Also I wanted to complement the artist on the wonderful cover. Very beautifully done!

Other books in the series:
 Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter)  - book one
 Archangel's Kiss (Guild Hunter, Book 2)  - book two
Archangel's Consort - book three
Archangel's Blade - book four (Dmitri's story; Singh's blog reports a release date of September 2011)
There are also two novellas: Angels' Judgement in  Must Love Hellhounds  & Angels' Pawn: A Companion Novella to Angels' Blood . The novellas are not necessary to the main storylines of the books, but they are entertaining reads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time to meet the in-laws
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 13, 2012

When a vampire attacks a girls' school in a fit of viscious madness, it is only the first in a string of violent events. Vampire after vampire is consumed by rampant bloodlust and Raphael is struggling to control them when he himself begins to show signs of uncontrollable rage. But when a massive storm threatens the New York the pattern behind the events becomes clear. An ancient is awakening and she seeks to reclaim her son. Caliane has returned...

This is the third book in the Guild Hunter series (after  Angels' Blood  and  Archangel's Kiss ) and is probably my favourite in the series so far. The storyline is densely plotted and packed with twists and turns, and the threat of an Ancient awakening is threaded through the book adding a vein of tension that enhances the plot. The suspense woven into the storylines is one of the things that I love most about this series, and this installment takes it to the next level.

After watching Elena's growth after the past few books, I was looking forward to seeing what was next for her and this takes things back to her family. It allows us to understand more about how her family functions and what role she was in. There is also a few surprises hidden in Elena's past and the flashbacks give her character even more depth. Her romance with Raphael is still going strong although at times I felt it drew attention away from the action.

The presence of Raphael's mother Caliane also means that flashbacks are again used to help develop their relationship by giving a window into their past. The flashbacks are always in italics and fit well within the story. Raphael is also dealing with the echoes of Lijuan's ascension and the changes that has made to the balance of power between the Cadre of ruling Archangels.

Once again the supporting characters shine through, particularly Dmitri who has been running things in New York while Elena recovered from her transformation. His book is up next and I'm eager to find out more about him. Bluebell also returns and there are some truly heartwrenching scenes with him that really made me feel for him.

All in all this was a great read and I'm really looking forward to  Archangel's Blade .
